Lock forward Will Spencer believes he will be a good fit for the forward pack at Leicester Tigers.

The 26-year-old second-row has been signed for next season by Tigers from Worcester Warriors.

He is currently recovering from a toe injury suffered late in the Aviva Premiership season but is highly regarded and many felt he could have challenged for a place in the England squad to take on South Africa had he not been sidelined.

"Leicester want to be competing and winning things and that's where my ambitions lie," he said.

"You look at their teams down the years and they've had big physical no-nonsense guys in their pack who run hard and hit hard - and that's what I try to do."

Spencer had spells with Bath and London Welsh before joining Worcester in 2016, where he made excellent progress.

He said: "It's been emotional to leave Worcester because they've been brilliant for me and from a rugby point of view it's the happiest two years I have had but to be part of such an iconic club as Leicester is huge and it's a move that jumped out at me."
